Accidental MAC OS erase.

I am a true DUMB A-- and was trying to install windows via bootcamp and accidentally reformatted the drive in ntfs. Now I am trying reinstall Leopard and I don't know how to reformat my HDD. The only reason I am trying to install XP is because I have classes that are windows based.
Please help.
